Christmas Day at sea
Christmas Eve Jan and Gene enjoyed a scrumptious dinner with 8 friends at Manfredi's (Italian) restaurant on the ship. After dinner a special dessert bar was set up in the atrium featuring everything chocolate! Christmas was a sea day. In December, passengers who enjoyed singing were recruited and began rehearsing Christmas music. Mid-day on Christmas, every passenger was invited to the atrium for a holiday sing-along. Both traditional and modern songs put everyone in a festive mood. Even the crew felt the spirit of Christmas. Young and old, the singing brought back memories of Christmas's past. The ship was decorated with gingerbread "cities". And of course, Santa dropped in from the North Pole.
